Calreticulin and JAK2V617F Mutations in Essential Thrombocythemia and Their Potential Role in Diagnosis and Prognosis

چکیده
ET was first recognized in 1934 by the name of hemorrhagic thrombocythemia. ET is characterized by an unusual thrombocytosis and risk of thrombotic and hemorrhagic disorders. The annual incidence of ET is approximately 1-2.5 per 100,000 population [1]. The incidence of ET is higher in those 50-70 years old, and is most often incidentally detected during a high platelet count. A number of patients have thrombotic and Abstract

Background and Aim: The JAK2 is an acquired mutation that is observed in majority of patients with classical Philadelphia-negative Myeloproliferative neoplasms that include polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), primary myelofibrosis (PMF). This acquired mutation is characterized by a G to T transversion at nucleotide 1849 in exon 12 of the JAK2 gene, leading to a substitution ...
متن کاملCalreticulin Mutations in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms
With the discovery of the JAK2V617F mutation in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph(-)) myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) in 2005, major advances have been made in the diagnosis of MPNs, in understanding of their pathogenesis involving the JAK/STAT pathway, and finally in the development of novel therapies targeting this pathway. Nevertheless, it remains unknown which mutations...
متن کاملEvaluation of JAK2V617F mutation prevalence in myeloproliferative neoplasm by AS-RT-PCR
Abstract Objective JAK2 is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a major role in myeloid disorders. JAK2V617F mutation is characterized by a G to T transverse at nucleotide 1849 in exon 12 of the JAK2 gene, located on the chromosome 9p, leading to a substitution of valine to phenylalanine at amino acid position 617 in the JAK2 protein. Methods In this study we evaluated RNA from 89 pati...
متن کاملGenetic basis and molecular pathophysiology of classical myeloproliferative neoplasms.
The genetic landscape of classical myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) is in large part elucidated. The MPN-restricted driver mutations, including those in JAK2, calreticulin (CALR), and myeloproliferative leukemia virus (MPL), abnormally activate the cytokine receptor/JAK2 pathway and their downstream effectors, more particularly the STATs. The most frequent mutation, JAK2V617F, activates the 3 ...
متن کاملPresence of atypical thrombopoietin receptor (MPL) mutations in triple-negative essential thrombocythemia patients.
Mutations in signaling molecules of the cytokine receptor axis play a central role in myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) pathogenesis. Polycythemia vera is mainly related to JAK2 mutations, whereas a wider mutational spectrum is detected in essential thrombocythemia (ET) with mutations in JAK2, the thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor (MPL), and the calreticulin (CALR) genes. Here, we studied the mutat...
